4 servings
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
For the lemon garlic sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 4 lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the salmon fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with the salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the salmon fillets skin-side up and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the flesh is opaque about halfway up the sides and the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
